The use of barcodes in the laboratory has become a
highly accurate, rapid and inexpensive way to identify
samples. When purchasing this feature, the user must
supply Parr with the MAC address of the calorimeter
(found in the Software & Hardware Info menu screen).
This allows Parr to activate the feature key.
In order to enable the calorimeter to use the bar code
feature, the feature key needs to be entered into the
instrument. Select the PROGRAM INFORMATION
AND CONTROL key from the Main Menu. Next,
select FEATURE KEY and enter the feature key
purchased from Parr Instrument Company into the
instrument by using the touch pad. Pressing the key
labeled “ABC” allows the user to switch from upper
case letters, to lower case letters and finally to numerals.
A CD containing all the necessary documentation
and setup information for using both the scanner and
the printer is provided at the time of purchase. A PC
based program used for printing bar coded labels is also
provided on this CD.
